We were so excited to have hosted the incredible and talented author & illustrator Yuyi Morales at several of the San Francisco Public Library branches. Her last stop was with us at Mission Branch, where we got to enjoy some mysterious treats out of the special and secret bag Yuyi takes with her on special visits. She shared with us many hand-made toys from her native country, Mexico, that were hiding in the bag.<br />
<br />
This is her <i><b>balero</b></i>, a traditional cup and ball game from Mexico. Notice how big it is :) it's an extra large balero!<br />

<br />
How lucky were we? We got a story time from the author herself! Yuyi read to us her latest book, <i><a href="http://sflib1.sfpl.org/record=b2652373~S1" target="_blank"><b>Niño Wrestles the World</b></a>! </i><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Gabriel García Márquez inspired and illuminated many people – we were very saddened to hear of his passing last week. Take a moment to see the books we have <a href="http://sflib1.sfpl.org/search/X?SEARCH=gabriel+garcia+marquez&searchscope=17&p=&l=eng&Da=&Db=&SORT=D&x=84&y=19" target="_blank">available at the Mission Branch written by him, but also about him</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are a few of his titles on display right by the New Books for you to browse and checkout! </span><br />

PEN/Hemingway Foundation Award. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong>Join San Francisco Poet Laureate Alejandro Murgía and Radio Bilingüe/KPOO FM Announcer Chelis Lopez, for a Día de los Muertos tribute to legendary Mexican novelist Carlos Fuentes. Fuentes died last May at the age of 83. </strong><br />
<br />
Along with Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Julio Cortázar and Mario Vargas Llosa, Fuentes is considered one of the main representatives of the Latin American Boom literary movement of the 1960s. His novel, The Death of Artemio Cruz is considered a seminal work in contemporary Spanish Literature and it earned him international recognition as Mexico’s most important novelist of the 20th century. A prolific author, Fuentes wrote novels, short stories, plays, screenplays, and numerous essays about literature, art, politics, and history. He served as Mexico’s Ambassador to France from 1975 to 1977 and won the Miguel de Cervantes Prize in 1987 for his overall literary achievements. His works have been translated into 24 languages. <br />
<br />
Special guests for the tribute include University of San Francisco's Director of Chicano/Latino Studies Dr. Karina Hodoyan, San Francisco State University’s Spanish Professor Dr. Gustavo Calderon and Yvette Fuentes, a close friend of the Fuentes family. A book sale hosted by Modern Times Bookstore will follow the event.<br />

3:15 pm Music by Gaucho, San Francisco's only gypsy jazz sextet. While originally based on the repertoire of Django Reinhart and the gypsy jazz of 1930's Europe, Gaucho finds inspiration in the rhythmic drive and collective improvisation of New Orleans swing music and the “gut bucket” sound. Let by Dave Ricketts on guitar, Gaucho won the Best Jazz and Blues Band SFweekly Reader's Poll in 2009.<br />

<br />
3:15 p.m. Gaucho. Musica en vivo con este sexteto de jazz de San Francisco, el único grupo de su tipo influenciado por la musica gitana.

Come hula some hoops and float some bubbles on May 6th during <strong>Sunday Streets</strong>. Our table will be set up at 1pm to 4pm outside of the library on Bartlett St. I hear there will be a music stage on Bartlett as well, so be ready to dance! Venga a celebrar "Sunday Streets," donde las calles de Valencia y la 24 estan cerrados a los carros y abiertos para las bicicletas y gente caminando. La biblioteca va a tener una mesa con juegos para niños empesando a la 1 p.m. <br />
